There's an old boat winch somewhere in there. Now it's all arranged as a large garden ornament.

Here is an unexpected trophy on the riverside: a shark's head. It's suspected to be plastic.

This, I was told, is the top of a trawler, converted to a house. It was brought up the river, craned onto the island (see the crane, below) and is now someone's home.

Here's another from the series of Eel Pie Island drawings. This is an old crane which, despite looking derelict, is still in regular use for lifting boats, engines ... whatever is needed.

I was commissioned to draw a series of pictures of the island. It's a curious place, oddly out of step with the 21st century, and full of interest.  Here's a view of the boatyard, one of the few still operating on the Thames.

    I love to draw. I draw the area I live in, I draw London, and many other things.
